Pop star Charli XCX marries her long-term boyfriend in low-key ceremony in London

Pop star Charli XCX marries her long-term boyfriend in low-key ceremony in London

The 32-year-old English singer, whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, tied the knot in a Vivienne Westwood-style mini dress with a traditional veil, Jimmy Choo heels, and her signature sunnies.
Charli married Daniel (35), the drummer and producer of The 1975, two years after announcing their engagement in 2023.
The pair have been together for several years and have collaborated multiple times, including on her record-breaking album Brat, which smashed the charts last summer.
George donned a dark double-breasted suit for the ceremony, over a light open-collared shirt with a flower, which matched his wife's white bouquet.
The pair said 'I do' at an intimate ceremony at Hackney Town Hall, surrounded by 20 of their loved ones – although 1975 frontman Matty Healy was noticeably absent.
The pop icon's wedding ring has reportedly been valued at a relatively modest £10,000, (€11,500) despite the couple's reported £10m fortune. The wedding band matches the singer's engagement ring, which is worth £15,000.
The understated wedding ceremony comes after reports that the pop duo were planning a luxurious wedding in Sicily later this year, after officially tying the knot in London.
A source said: 'George has been busy this summer, but his mates were determined to take him on a stag do. He flew to Ibiza for a couple of days for a raucous knees-up with his closest pals – including his bandmates – and party girl Charli was all for it.''
According to The Sun, the wedding ceremony is estimated to cost close to six figures.
A source close to the couple revealed: 'Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there. It's incredibly secluded and romantic. There will be no expense spared. it's costing tens of thousands of pounds and visually it will be mesmerising.'
The couple allegedly want a 'massive party' with a bar that is open all night long.
Charli told Harper's Bazaar earlier this year: 'We're both very chill and we kind of just want to have a party. Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever.
'We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends.'
The star used Instagram last November to announce her engagement, writing: 'charli xcx and george f***ing for life!'
Her record label shared their well wishes to the couple back in 2023, writing: 'Major congratulations to @charli_xcx and George Daniel on their engagement.'
Celebrity friends quickly piled in with their support, 1975 frontman Matty Healy wrote: 'I cry.'
